Expert-Tested Technology

Trapping nuisance animals has never been easier! Patented Easy Set® technology allows you to set your trap with one pull of a lever. Expert-tested and proven effective, Havahart® Easy Set® traps are the most robust traps on the market, contructed with rust-resistant galvanized steel and strudy hardware, making the handling experience safe and comfortable.

Easy to Set & Release

Simply bait the trap and then pull back the Easy Set® lever to set it with a single hand. The trip plate's sensitivity targets the animal's specific size and weight, while a solid spring-loaded door ensures a quick and secure capture. To release, just stand to the rear of the cage and pull back the Easy Set® lever. It's that easy - no more destructive digging, and no more tipped trash cans!

Safe for You and the Animal

Inside the cage, smooth, rounded edges and a strudy door lock keep the animal safely inside, while a solid hand guard limits contact with the carrier. And a rigid carry handle makes it easy to carry even large animals at a safe distance.

Effective & Trusted Since 1940

Havahart® traps are designed and tested by trapping professionals for the best efficacy and strength in the industry. Constructed of premium galvanized steel for added durability, these traps stand up to the test of time. And with the added features of a patented lever and enlarged handle guard, Easy Set® is the premium choice.

Most Recent Customer Reviews

Bought this trap to catch a family of feral cats. I caught the mom immediately, but she was able to open the trap door and escape. Undeterred, I tried again, and caught one of her kittens. This time, the kitten was able to open the trap door and escape. This trap is a very poor design — and if it can’t keep a kitten inside for more than 10 seconds, it’s a waste of time and money. I have since borrowed a better trap from our humane society. Don’t waste your time or money with this one. I returned it to Lowe’s.

Faulty catch bar design. I had two armadillos escape by pushing the door and the catch bar didn't hold the door down. Bar got pushed back thru the guides and bent the guides and broke the spring. Now have a torn up yard and a busted trap. Had borrowed by friends model 1079 and caught 3, but the 1092 was a huge disappointment.

I CAUGHT AND RELEASED 4 RACOONS WHICH HAD BEEN LIVING UNDER MY HOUSE. THEY EACH ARE LIVING 5+ MILES IN MISC. LOCATIONS. GOOD RIDDANCE!!

MARSHMALLOWS DID THE TRICK EACH TIME. AFTER THE FIRST ONE STOLE THE BAIT AND DIDN'T GET TRAPPED, I DECIDED TO SET IT WITH THE BAIT UNDER, NOT INSIDE THE TRAP. THE COON HAS TO WORK HARDER TO GET IT AND IT REALLY DID THE JOB...

I wish I could give this product less than a 1 star review. Raccoon actually bent the locking bar for the back of the trap and escaped. Thankfully it didn't happen during transportation or while handling the trap. Yes the trap door does not latch effectively as stated in so many previous reviews. Company still hasn't fixed that issue. This trap is dangerous and needs to be recalled. I have also spoken with two company representatives by phone who seemed rather indifferent to my safety concerns and am awaiting a call back from futher up the chain of command. .

Thank you for taking the time to speak with us over the phone this morning and for providing detailed feedback. This information is valuable to us. We look forward to receiving pictures of the trap so we can continue to look into this further.

Do not purchase this trap. It is poorly designed and your critters will escape. I have video evidence of a nice possum getting out of my trap. The door is able to be pushed up allowing the animal to get free. I will just spend the extra money the next time on a better trap. Putting the trap together is easy and not difficult at all. However, I am trying to re-enforce my trap with extra links to secure it and a new fabrication of the door so it is not so easy to push back up. This is a pain and not worth the money I spent on the trap.

Terrible design on the door spring. The spring collapsed on the first set and the animal escaped. Very poor quality.

Worst trap ever! The door catches on the metal fittings on the sides of the trap, that is when it decides to actually trigger the door to close. I had a opossum simply walk right out of this trap (the spring on the door is not strong enough to keep the animal inside).

As stated before, failure to lock. Easy to Set, but the collapsible feature which I liked causes a problem. When collapsed, the door is held open, which stretches the spring that closes the locking bail. After sitting for a long time collapsed, I got it out and trapped an armadillo. It failed to lock and animal escaped. Moving the spring to a different rung to tighten fixed, but have to store uncollapsed or remove spring to insure it will work again. Kinda defeats the collapsing intent!

My indoor cat darted out the door late one night. Bought this trap, set it up and tried it out several times to be sure that I had it set up correctly. I had a security camera set out to watch the trap and was excited when I saw my cat walk into the trap. However, I was angry when the trap door closed, obviously either not fast enough or not securely enough, and the cat darted back out the trap. This trap was returned to Lowes the next day. Thankfully I just trapped my cat 4 weeks later with a drop trap made from a different company when he should have been caught 3 weeks prior. Definitely go with a better made brand.

Thank you for sharing this feedback. If the cat was not fully inside the trap when the trigger was engaged, this could have permitted it to back out of the trap as the door may not have locked in place. We apologize for this experience and are happy to hear that your cat was eventually caught.
